> Here is something that gets lost in all the excitement about AI productivity: most software engineers became engineers because they love writing code.

1) I guess I am not included in the set named "most software engineers."

2) If the title is "Software Engineer," I think I should be engineering, not coding.

This has probably been beaten to death, but I think this is the biggest disciminating question between "pro ai" and "against ai" in the software world is: "Dp you do (this) becuase you like writing code, or because you like building things for the world?"

Of course I don't think it's a binary decision.

Although I more more motivated by building things, I do somewhat miss the programmer flow state I used to get more often.

I do this because I want to build quality software. AI to the extent people are trying to push it cannot achieve that. So I'm pro-buildinig and anti-AI.

I spent my years in this domain learning how to optimize code, and AI meanwhile doesn't always make compileable code. Let alone correctly functioning code (step 0 in optimizing: "make sure it actually works first")
